Installation Steps

To install Sun Java System ASP on Windows

You must uninstall any previous installations of this product before installing Sun Java System ASP 4.0.3.

   If you are installing Sun Java System ASP from a CD-ROM, insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. If the setup program does not start automatically, double-click the setup file located on the CD-ROM. - or -If you are downloading Sun Java System ASP from the Web, download the installation file for Windows, and then double-click the file.

2. Perform the step-by-step installation, as prompted by the setup program.

3. After the installation of Sun Java System ASP is finished and you have restarted your computer, restart the Web server that was configured to run with Sun Java System ASP.

After You Install

Before running your installation, review the following information:

• Sun Java System ASP runs automatically whenever an ASP page is requested by a user (provided the Web server is running). Sun Java System ASP runs until the Web server is stopped. When the Web server is restarted, Sun Java System ASP will not run until an ASP page is requested by a user.

• The Sun Java System ASP Administration Console is referenced throughout the product documentation. The Administration Console is available for the UNIX/Linux version of the product only. With Sun Java System ASP for Windows, all configuration is performed during installation. Some of the configuration information is stored in registry settings, however, and EXPERT users may choose to use regedit to edit those settings.

Do not make any changes to the INSTALL, SYSFILES, or REGLIST settings.

• With Sun Java System ASP for Windows, ASP applications are defined by adding aliases or virtual directories to the Web server. Sun Java System ASP treats each alias or virtual directory as an ASP application. With Sun Java System Web Server, ASP applications are defined by adding an additional document directory using the server’s Administration tool. With Apache Web Server, ASP applications are defined by adding an alias to the httpd.conf file.

• ODBC drivers are not installed with Sun Java System ASP for Windows. Use the Windows ODBC Data Source Administrator (accessed from the Control Panel) to view installed ODBC drivers and to create and manage DSNs. Consult Microsoft documentation for more information.
